   * Several lunar occultations, including grazes of 81 Tau and Aldebaran
   * Vesta is nice and easy to find at the beginning of the month
   * A mini-review of the Oberwerk Ultra 10x50 binocular

Thank you for the bino astronomy info. It has confirmed a few things I've been seeing and presents some targets to look for.

A bit of a heads up for comet Encke. I saw it in a telescope this evening but i think it might be visible in 15x70s. It's around  mag. 7.5 in the vicinity of Venus, a few degrees above Omega Piscium. You need a clear western horizon though.
